Nagarjuna: My 'Coolie' Character is Almost Like a Hero

When Lokesh Kanagaraj narrated Coolie to me, the first question I asked him was, 'Did Rajinikanth sir really okay the script?' That's because my character, Simon, is so good and dynamic that he is almost like a hero. In Lokesh's movies, the antagonists are as important as the protagonist, especially in Vikram, Nagarjuna said today at a pre-release press meet of Coolie in Hyderabad. Nag said that he had recorded Lokesh's narration and listened to it again and again to be able to ask him doubts. In my first schedule, we filmed a scene in Vizag. After the shoot, I asked Lokesh if some humans are really that evil, the Naa Saami Ranga actor revealed. We we so sad when a video clip got leaked from the sets, he added. On the first day of the shoot, Rajinikanth garu stared at me at a stretch and told me he wouldn't have accepted to do Coolie if he knew I look the way I look. That's the best compliment I have received. He is a very thinking actor. He contemplates about the scenes so much, Nag said. The Akkineni star expressed his wish to work with Lokesh again and again and again. Soubin Shahir's character in the movie, Nag opined, is mind-blowing. On the occasion, the Kuberaa actor praised Lokesh's planning and professionalism. He finished the entire film with Rs 5 Cr to spare, Nag said, suggesting that it's a rarity.
